International data sources
QAS is committed to providing address data only from primary sources, typically the National Postal Administration in each respective country. The files that are supplied with QuickAddress include all postal codes, town and locality names and street names. Wherever possible, premise numbers will also be included for more accurate verification.
Data is supplied to QAS in a raw flat file format. The data is then compressed and indexed by a specialist team to ensure maximum compression, speed and accuracy. Data is rigorously tested at every stage of the process.
A full audit trail to the holders of the copyright of each country's data will be provided and QAS will not supply any data unless a resale agreement is in place. This means that data suppliers are contractually obliged to provide regular updates of their data, which QAS then supplies to end users. These updates are essential to ensure data integrity.
